Gretch Background Information
Gretch stand about the same height as humans but
tend to walk hunched over, they are as at home
above land as they are below it. Their skin varies in
colour from a pale yellow through muddy yellow to a
sickly green colour.
They are at home in the wilds and seem to be one of
the few creatures that the wilds accept. Due to this
they find it easier to travel around the wilds than other
races and as such have found a role as traders.
They tend to travel in caravans together as opposed
to alone. Of all the races the Gretch have been the
least affected. How they are now is pretty much how
they were prior to the great conflict. They have
always had their gypsy clans and always had their
wagons and wanderlust.
Their surprising affinity with aspect of the Wilds is a
new thing. Scholars muse that the Wilds ignore the
Gretch as it finds them as odious as do the rest of the
races but whatever the reason it seems that many
Gretch can walk through a glade filled with blood
grass or strangle vine and emerge unscathed!
There are many Gretch caravan clans, the „nimble
sticks?, ?redcaps? and „big purse? being 3 of the
largest. Strangely, Gretch do not reveal their clan to
other Gretch not of their clan or non Gretch as this is
a big taboo. Only the Gretch know why this is –
perhaps it is to avoid conflict or to seem united
against the common threat of all the other races - the
Gretch are fully aware of the world?s view of them.
Roleplaying Gretch
Gretch have a natural love of poisons and in combat
prefer to get the first strike in with a poison covered
blade then to back off and wait for their prey to die
before moving for the kill. Due to this there is no love
lost between Gretch and Jotun.
Gretch Costume Requirements
Gretch must have green or yellow skin. Their attire
can be feral looking, dressed in furs and leathers or
they may in a scruffy sort of way seek to ape the
clothing of other races. They love hats and certain
colours are rumoured to mean certain things.
